With the New Hampshire primary just five days away, we still don’t have a winner in Iowa.After technical issues with a new app and long phone delays held up any Iowa caucus numbers until almost a full day later, as of Thursday morning, 97 percent of precincts have reported their results.But the race is still too close to call, as former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg holds 26.2 percent of the delegates, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has 26.1 percent. Meanwhile, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is at 18.2 percent, while former Vice President Joe Biden is in fourth place with 15.8 percent. Biden has admitted he “expected to do better” in Iowa, while his aides weren’t so diplomatic, with one telling Politico his performance was nothing short of a “disaster.”Speaking of disasters, the Iowa Democratic Party on Wednesday released a new batch of results that they soon had to clarify needed a “minor correction.” The incorrect results suddenly showed a surge in support for former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), even though the Des Moines Register notes he wasn’t even “actively competing for support” in Iowa. The Iowa Democrats soon issued correct results showing Patrick with no delegate equivalents. CNN reports the Iowa Democratic Party is expecting to release the full results by Thursday morning.More stories from theweek.com How history will view Trump’s impeachment Republican senator follows Trump’s acquittal with a new Hillary Clinton email probe DNC chair calls for Iowa recanvass as analysis finds results are ‘riddled with inconsistencies’
